1. If the system is not up to temperature, press
enable the heaters and pump then wait for system
to reach operating temperature.
To avoid severe burns, wear protective gloves and
clothing that will insulate your hands and body from
the hot surfaces and material.
2. Perform Pressure Relief Procedure, page 33 but
do not allow system to cool. Adhesive must be a
fluid to perform this procedure.
3. Turn main power switch OFF.
4. Loosen two screws (8) then slide the small metal
shroud (28) on the back of the system up to remove.
See F . 25.

Replace Inlet Filter

To avoid severe burns, wear protective gloves and
clothing that will insulate your hands and body from
the hot surfaces and material.
The inlet filter is designed to prevent large items from
entering the system. The inlet filter can only be replaced
with the system empty.
1. Close the system air inlet ball valve.
NOTE: Some adhesives have different melting points.
The first temperature tried should be approximately half
of the dispensing temperature. If dispensing at 400°F
(204°C), first try 200°F (93°C) then increase in 20°F
to
(11°C) increments. If dispensing at 250°F (121°C), first
try 125°F (52°C) then increase in 20°F (11°C) incre-
ments.
NOTE: To ensure the adhesive is a gel, not a liquid, do
not remove inlet filter cap (215) when the temperature is
above the desired temperature. If the temperature is too
low, the adhesive viscosity may be too high to remove
the inlet filter (213). See F
2. If the melter is below the desired temperature and
heating system is disabled, press
the heaters.
If the melter is above the desired temperature and
heating system is enabled, press
the heaters.
3. Wait until melter temperature is the desired tem-
perature.
